FIELD

The present disclosure generally relates to a compound modulating receptor activity, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compound, and methods useful for treating diseases. The present disclosure relates to a compound useful as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of metabotropic glutamate receptor subtype 5 (mGluR5) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders mediated by glutamate dysfunction and mGluR5 comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the same.

BACKGROUND

Glutamate is the most prevalent excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) of mammals. Glutamate plays an important role in numerous physiological functions such as cardiovascular regulation, perception and recognition, and synaptogenesis as well as learning and memory. As such, in the occurrence of imbalance in glutamate neurotransmission, various nervous and mental diseases such as schizophrenia may be caused, and thus glutamate plays an important role in physiology.

Glutamate mediates synaptic neurotransmission via ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluR)—i.e., the activation of NMDA receptors, AMPA receptors and kainate receptors involved in rapid excitatory transmission (Nakanishi S. et al., Brain Res. Rev., (1998) 26: 230-235). In addition, glutamate plays a role in subtly regulating excitatory synaptic neurotransmission via the activation of metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR).

Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR) consist of eight (8) subtypes and are sub-divided into three groups (Groups I, II and III) according to arrangement, homology and pharmacological property. mGluR5 belongs to Group I, and it is known that mGluR5 interacts with NMDA receptors via various proteins and neurotransmission pathways. Therefore, because the balance of deficiency or hyperactivity of physiological function by NMDA receptors can be regulated via the modulation of mGluR5, to modulate mGluR5 is very important.

Since a variety of pathophysiological processes and disease states affecting the CNS are thought to be related to abnormal glutamate neurotransmission and NMDA receptor malfunction, modulators of mGluR5 receptors could be therapeutically beneficial in the treatment of various CNS diseases. Moreover, because mGluR5 receptor modulators which act through allosteric binding site have some advantages such as subtype selectivity, brain penetration and safety potential, many studies have reported that the mGluR5 positive allosteric modulators were useful for the treatment of schizophrenia and CNS diseases.

International Publication Nos. WO 2008/151184 and WO 2011/035324 disclose benzamide and O-benzyl nicotinamide derivatives as an mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator, respectively. International Publication No. WO 2010/124055 discloses 2-alkyl piperidine derivatives as an mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator, and International Publication No. WO 2011/082010 discloses tetrahydrotriazolopyridine derivative compounds. International Publication Nos. WO 2012/078817 and WO 2012/083224 disclose bicyclic pyrazole and bicyclic triazole compounds as an mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator, respectively.

The term “addition salt” may be taken to include solvates obtainable from any of the compounds of Chemical Formula (1) and salts thereof. Examples of these solvates are hydrates and alcoholates.

The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated into various types for oral or parenteral administration. For example, it may be formulated into any dosage form for oral administration such as tablets, pills, soft/hard capsules, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, granules and elixirs. Besides the effective ingredient, such a dosage form for oral administration may further include any pharmaceutically acceptable carriers depending on a typical construction of each formulation—for example, diluents such as lactose, dextrose, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, cellulose and/or glycine, or lubricants such as silica, talc, steric acid and its magnesium or calcium salt, and/or polyethylene glycol.

In addition, in case the formulation for oral administration is in a tablet form, it may also comprise binding agents such magnesium aluminum silicate, starch paste, gelatin, gum tragacanth, methyl cellulose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, and/or polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and if desired, it may also include disintegrating agents such as starch, agar, or alginic acid or its sodium salt, or a boiling mixture, and/or an absorbing agent, a colorant, a flavoring agent, or a sweetening agent.

The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated into a form of parenteral administration. In this case, it may be administered by means of parenteral administration methods such as a hypodermic injection, an intravenous injection, an intramuscular injection or an intrathoracic injection. In order for the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure to be formulated into a dosage form for parenteral administration, the effective ingredient (i.e., the compound of Chemical Formula (1) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof) may be mixed with a stabilizer or a buffering agent in water to prepare as a solution or a suspension, and this solution or suspension may then be produced as a unit dosage form such as an ampoule or a vial.

Experimental Example: Pharmacological Activity Test

Efficacy as a positive allosteric modulator (PAM) of mGluR5 of the compounds of the Examples was tested as follows:

Calcium Influx Assay Based on Fluorescence

Ca²⁺ (calcium) influx assay is an experiment for measuring the activity of a positive allosteric modulator of mGluR5 receptor in which human mGluR5 receptor-overexpressed HEK293 cell line is used. The day before the experiment, cells were prepared in a cell culture medium (DMEM, 5% FBS) with the density of 80,000/well, and 100 μl of cells were dispensed into each well of a poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well plate. Cells were incubated in a 5% CO₂, 37° C. incubator. The next day, the cell culture medium was removed from the plate, and 100 μl of 1× Fluo-4 calcium indicator diluted with a buffer (1× Hank's balanced salt solution, 20 mM HEPES, 2.5 mM probenecid) were added to each well and incubated at 37° C. for 1 hour. The compound stock solutions were prepared in 100% DMSO, and the compounds were serially diluted with a 1/4 dilution to 6 or 7 concentrations (final concentration was 10 μM to 10 nM). The diluted compound solutions were added to the plate with 0.1 to 0.2% of final DMSO concentration. 1 hour after the addition of Fluo-4 calcium indicator, L-glutamate (EC₂₀ concentration) and the test compound solutions were added to the plate, and Ca²⁺ reaction was then measured by FLIPR at room temperature. The activity of the compounds was standardized on the basis of the results of maximum value-minimum value of fluorescent reaction, and the activity value was calculated on the basis that no activity on glutamate EC₂₀ is 0% and the reaction to glutamate maximum value is 100%.

In the same manner as in the above assay, the efficacy of the test compounds as a human mGluR5 positive allosteric modulator was calculated to EC₅₀ and is represented in Table 1 (+: 500-1,000 nM, ++: 100-500 nM, +++: 100 nM or less).
